Independent federal MP Andrew Wilkie has claimed that up to 95 per cent of clubs in New South Wales are not complying with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism finance laws. He says this means they are operating illegally, and that he got this information from a ClubsNSW document that was provided to him by a whistleblower. Troy Stolz, a former ClubsNSW AML/CTF compliance auditor, claims that he was the source of the document. He says that money laundering through poker machines is rife in pubs and clubs across Australia. A ClubsNSW spokesperson has accused Wilkie of "anti-club hysteria".

New South Wales Deputy Premier Troy Grant recently signalled an early review, and possible reform, of liquor laws introduced in February 2014. They mean operators of licensed venues in the Sydney CBD and Kings Cross area must "lock out" patrons after 1.30am, and cease selling alcohol at 3am. Pubs and clubs had applauded any move to have the regulations scaled back, but this was opposed by police and by doctors’ lobby groups. Premier Mike Baird has now ruled out amending the current system

The New South Wales (NSW) Government remains non-committal on whether it will reform liquor laws rolled out in February 2014. They force the operators of licensed venues in the Sydney CBD and Kings Cross area to "lock out" patrons after 1.30am, and finish selling alcohol at 3am. A review will take place in mid-2015. While pubs and clubs want the regulations to be scaled back, their extension to all of the state is backed by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the NSW Police Association
